2. Séralini’s study is the only long-term study on the commercialized GM maize NK603 and the pesticide (Roundup) it is designed to be grown with. See here: Why is this study important?

3. Séralini used the same strain of rat (Sprague-Dawley, SD) that Monsanto used in its 90-day studies on GM foods and its long-term studies on glyphosate, the chemical ingredient of Roundup, conducted for regulatory approval.

5.Compared with industry tests on GM foods, Séralini’s study analyzed the same number of rats but over a longer period (two years instead of 90 days), measured more effects more often, and was uniquely able to distinguish the effects of the GM food from the pesticide it is grown with.

6. If we argue that Séralini’s study does not prove that the GM food tested is dangerous, then we must also accept that industry studies on GM foods cannot prove they are safe.

7. Séralini’s study showed that 90-day tests commonly done on GM foods are not long enough to see long-term effects like cancer, organ damage, and premature death. The first tumours only appeared 4-7 months into the study.

8. Séralini’s study showed that industry and regulators are wrong to dismiss toxic effects seen in 90-day studies on GM foods as “not biologically meaningful”. Signs of toxicity found in Monsanto’s 90-day studies were found to develop into organ damage, cancer, and premature death in Séralini’s two-year study.

No any doubts whatsoever that GM foods change animal, including human, cells to a state they turn to cancerous over time. So all the Monsanto’s and other biotech companies tricky games are based on cancer tumors growing slowly in long-lived species like human, so it can take some 10-20 years of a cancer tumor to grow in human.

Meanwhile, Monsanto is in a hurry to make another number of billions of dollars on selling unlabeled-as-the-GMO carcinogenic GM foods, such as every single chocolate bar and candy with lecithin in it from GMO soy, corn-muffins and a number of brands of corn chips and popcorns, or every single can or bottle of soda with GMO corn syrup, and every condiment, or dressing with it, and many Mexican dishes based on GM corn flour and corn oil, or GMO Canola and Soy oil most frequently used in any restaurant’s cuisine/dishes. GMO are in every single piece of your farmed fish, and meat, and egg, and cheese for a number of years, since the fish and cow are fed GMO soy and GMO corn in our country — DAILY.

This is the main cause of your and your kids health problems and the monsterous obesity in the country.

So if we do not start educating ourselves on GMO and do not demand our government now to stop pretending that they have no idea about what is going on with the notorious biotech industry, which is exterminating the US citizens as they do with their masterpieces super-weeds or super-bugs, then your kids and your grandchildren lives are in the greatest danger ever in the entire history of the planet Earth.

Aloha- Yesterday I was speaking to a state senator about this study and he mentioned that he was not able to find the actual study… only articles referring to it. Any idea where i could find it? His inability to put his hands on it makes him think it is not a credible study. Can you direct me? Much thanks

One might dismiss almost all these above just because the research of the Séralini team was not perfect. However, far from being full of holes, it surely proved one thing, something that the industrial and governmental players also has to acknowledge, at least between themselves.

That is genetically modified feed and food has to be rigorously examined and regulated because current safety studies and standards are inadequate to measure the possible health effects of these crops. Food is and should always be a product of trust. How could you build trust on unreliable foundations?

I would like to thank you so much for helping us understand this complex area.My biggest concern is that the trade agreements that the USA want to have with Europe will only allow more Roundup laced GMOs into our food chain in Europe and hence continue the diseased road that we find ourselves on ever since MONSANTO and the likes came to power…….yes power they have infiltrated our governments at corporate level and so have the governors of our food and health regulators in their cheque books………….remember your health protector is in your gut,add roundup and it will kill the organisms that protect us, no wonder we spend more money in our Hospitals now than ever before……..thank you so much from your BIGGEST IRISH FAN…..long live honesty,conscience and natural health……….

I’m sure the fact that the industry studies only last 3 months is because they are well aware that the cancers begin 4-7 months after long-term ingestion. At the very least, we have proven another long-term study is urgently required.

Thank you Seralini Sir for doing this long term chronic toxicity study. The evil beings that control this world will NOT have it easy now to eliminate the 5.5 billion people on this earth since more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms thanks to you.
